A Clever Officer Succeeds i'm RuRntni Down the Slayer of the Game War d0n.a

A Clever Officer Succeeds in Running Down the Slayer of the Game War; dens.
 BANGOR, Me, March 31.-There has been
 much speculation as to the manner in which
 Officer Allen of this city found that Graves,
 the murderer of the game wardens, had fled
 to California. It seems that he kept close
 watch on the members of Graves family in
 Hancock and ascertained that a letter plainly
 postmarked Oakland, Cal. had been received.
 The officer learned the contents of the letter
 and also discovered that letter and pack
 age were sent in reply. When Officer Allen learned that Graves was in Oakland he com- municated it to Marshal Whitney and Com missioner Stillwell. They thought the best way to corner the man was to send MT. Allen to Oakland for him at once. Then the expense matter came up. Commissioner Stillwell could not use the money in his department for it and Allen did not care to take the expense as the reward offered would not cover 1t. So Stillweu and Allen went to Augusta to place the matter before the Gov ernor and Attorney General. It so happen ed that the Governor was in Bath that day and the Attorney General at Portland, so the trip amounted to nothing. Several days aLterWafd Mr.0tlllWell was ln Augusta on Dus- mess and saw the Governor and told him all about the affair and Officer Aliens connec- tion with it. January 30 Attorney General Baker wrote Officer Allen to send everything he knew about it to the Governor with full information as to how to proceed in cap turing Graves. MT. Allen replied that he could explain the matter much better in per son and would come to Augusta at his own expense and on any day that the Governor might designate. To this MT. Allen never received reply. MT. Allen then determined to push the matter with Marshal Whitney's aid as far as possible and it resulted in the arrest. The requisition papers will be ready Friday or Saturday and two men will proba- bly, be sent to get Graves.

 WASHINGTON, March 31.-Assistant Secre- tary Fairchild, it is officially announced from the White House to night, will tomorrow be appointed Secretary of the Treasury and MT. Isaac H. Maynard, of New York, the present second comptroller in the department, will be appointed assistant Secretary of the Treasury to fill the position made vacant by MT. Fairchild's promotion. Treasurer Jor- dams successor has not been determined up- on and probably will not be announced for some days. MT. Theodore Cook, of Cincin- nati, is spoken of most frequently in connec ton with the place and tonight is thought most likely to succeed MT. Jordan.
 Charles Stebbins FaiIchild was born at Cazenovia, New York, April 30, 1842, and his position cabinet minister finds him in the prime of life and well fitted for the onerous labor of the financial bureaux of the government. His father was for many years the attorney for the New York Central road and is one of the eminent attorneys of New York. The new Secretary received his early education at the Methodist seminary at Cazenovia and he entered Harvard in 1859, the class of 1863. He then attend ed the Harvard Law school and was admitted to the bar in 1865 and subsequently, became one of the firm of Hart Hale, Swartz 6 Fairchild, one of the most successful legal combinations in New York. In 1874 he was appointed deputy attorney general and in this his first political position, he so distinguished himself that in the ensuing year he was nominated for attorney general He served in this capacity for two years and they were eyentful ones for the people of New York, because the alleged canal rings were receiving the attention of Governor Tilden and his advisers. Upon the expiration of his term MT. Frirchild in 1878 visited Europe. While on the conti nent the future Secretary made a careful study of the monetary system of the old world and when he returned he had acquired a valuable fund of information. From 1880 up to the time he was called to Washington as assistant Secretary of the Treasury MT. Far child was engaged in the practice of his pro- forward man of business, easy of access for his door was always open to callers no mat he has shown a marked difference from other officials. His face is round and smooth shaven, closely clipped black moustache being conspicuous above the firm closed mouth, while in stature he is hardly above the medium height, compactly built and weighs 1855 pounds. Secretary Fairchild is a firm believer in the efficacy of equestrian exercise and daily at the close of business hours he mounts his roadster and takes a canter through the suburbs as an appetizer for dinner Socially he and his wife are popular and his hospitab1e mansion has always been thronged during the gay season.

A BLAZE IN MILFORD.

Said to Re of Encendtary Origin
 A Barn and Tenement House Suc-
 cum bs to the Flames-The Hotel and
 Railroad Depot Have Narrow
 Eseape-The Loss About $3,OoO.
 Milford had genuine scare last evening. It was caused by the discovery of fire which was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. Manager c. A. Lyman, of the Central Tele- phone office on Main street, saw smoke and flames issuing from barn in the rear of Milford hotel at about 11:45 o'clock and near the New York and New Haven railroad track. He at once rushed out and alarmed the neighborhood. The flames had gained much headway and the inf1ammable mater ial added fuel to the blaze which assumed such proportions that it threatened an adjoining house, the railroad depo: and the hotel. A strong fight was made by the fre- men to save these buildings, but in spite of It had been recently built and was unoccu- pied. The hotel and depot were saved. There was much excitement caused when it was learned that the fire was undoubtedly Of in- cendiary origin. The burned buildings were owned by Mrs. Knight, of New York, who also owns the hotel. The loss it is thought will be about $3,000. It is not known at this hour q e'elock) whether there was any live stock burned. It was in the same vicin- ity that other incendiary fires occurred sev- eral months ago. The Milford authorities will make careful investigation to day.

St. Louis "Medical Brief" April, 1887.
From Ex-Senator Al Daggett.

The Hon. Albert Daggett, writing from the
 Senate chamber, Albany, New York, says:
 have used Allcocks Porous Plasters for the past ten years with marked results. l have found them especially effective when depleted and worn out from weeks of inces- sant labors in political campaigns; the ap- plication of them to ny chest and spine gave me great relief when my voice had become hoarse and worn down from speaking in the open air. They seem to act as tonic to the whole system, curing the soreness consequent from over exertion, and restoring the tone of the system more readily than any remedy have ever found. have also used them for rheumatism with very beneficial res7lts.

THE PASTOR IN THE PARISH.

Yale Divinity SehooI-Last eff the Special Lectures-Practical Theo. logical Advice.
 Rev. John Hall, D. D., gave the last of his series of lectures yesterday afternoon in the
 Marquand chapel. He spoke to large audi
 ence, many of them ladies. The subject was
 "The Minister in the Parish" The word is
 used with variety of signihcations, espec-
 ally in the United States, to describe people
 who choose to be under the ministration of a
 particular pastor and a particular church.
 The minister in the parish suggests certain
 idea of continuance in the place. This is a
 great gain for long acquaintance with the
 people brings the pastor to know them and give him hold upon their sympathies. There is no ground for the division of mankind in- to men, women and ministers. The short residence of preacher in one parish may be due to defect of education mistaken views of what he is to preach; often it is due to the moral condition of the people, their self assertion and self-will, often to the made quate maintenance given to the minister who is constrained to a certain style of Ev | ing, and certain charities to which the peo- l pie do not have to conform. The minister | has been likened to the swallows on the l housetop, waiting for the time to fly away; | but there is cause for both, each wants 8 | warmer climate. The mail carrier in New | York city receives more on the average than the salary of the preacher in the United l States. As Christian nation we must maintain and vindicate l the position which we took l at the start. Dr. Hall then spoke of the oc- J casional services where the minister would | be called upon to officiate-the marriage ser l vice, funerals, the Sunday school, etc. After 1 all the great pastoral duty is that of visita- | tion; he is charged with the oversight of the l people. He must look out for the people, he | must look up the people, he must look over | the people. The minister must have some | system in his work, though it is often en- croached upon The house going minister | makes church going people; he has to visit | the people and do something in his own line | at every visit. The minister who is invisi- | ble for six days in the week and incompre- hensible on the seventh day will not prove l to be effectual in his work. In closing Dr. | Hall made pleasant allusions to the past 1 lectures and wished the young men of the | Divinity school all success and the blessing l of Christ in their work.

The Sealing Steamer Eagle Crashes
 on the Rocks and Two Hundred and
 Sixty Persons Perish.
 ST JOHNS, N. F., March 31.-Another re- port has reached here of the total loss of the sealing steamer Eagle, with her crew of 25O men, on the shoals near Funk Island, off Bonavista Bay. Debris, such as deck lad der, the forecastle deck and cooking gear, with the steamers name on them, have been found on the ice. It is supposed that the boiler exploded. The steamer Eagle was last seen near Funk Island on March il dur ing terrible storm. The next morning she was missing. Wreckage was passed by two whaling steamers which have just arrived at Grecopond. All the vessels of the fleet except the Eagle have been seen or heard from since the storm of the 11th and there is no doubt that the Eagle went on the reefs and was broken and the fifty sea- men and two hundred and ten seal fishers on board are given up for lost. The storm is said to have been the worst ever known on this coast. Captain Jackman was known until a few seasons ago the 'kipg of the sealing feet" on account of his skill. Of late he has been unlucky. He lost the steamer Resolute last year, but all the crew escaped. Most of those lost on the Eagle lived here.

Utterly Discouraged

expresses the feeling of many victims of rheumatism, neuralgia, sciati-a and nervous or sick headache. Having tried numberless so-called remedies and physicians of all schools, without relief, there seems to be no hope Many such have as last resort tried Athlophoros; and to their surprise and joy have found that it was safe, sure and quick cure. Athlophoros is not an experiment i; thousands have been cured by it's use and they testify as to it's value.

 For three months I was confined to the house with inflammatory rheumatism. So severe was my afniction the doctors prescrib- ed for me forty grains of morphine day, besides steaming me for five hours each day, and many other doses. Notwithstanding had three physicians, their combined skill did not give me any relief, so, finally be- coming discouraged, I determined to let the disease do it's work, had pair of orutches made, and nervously waited for the worst to come, when friend came to see me and ad- vised me to try Athlophoros. I took the first dose at six in the evening and two more doses during the night. The next morning, after three months sickness, went to work, greatly to the astonishment of my many friends, who all thought I would never get around again. I am a letter carrier and widely known here, and Athlophoros cured me, and it will cure anybody suffering with rheumatism. w. B. GooDAL4E,

Husbandtns the Functional Forces in
 SeIf-Lfmiting Feyers Diseases by
 Proper Diet All Important-TyphOfd-
 Pneumonia.
 I desire to call to the attention of the read of the Brief that in fighting for the life of patient stricken down with typhoid fe- yer or typhoid-pneumonla, success depends great deal on early provision for hus- banding the resources of the patient by not only ridding him of all anxiety and care or excitement and things which wear on the body through the mind, but by prescribing easily digested and highly nour- ishing food. The careful physician, as soon he has diagnosed his ty- phoid, or selfexhaustive in it's nature wasteful to the vital forces, will anticipate the needs for many days ahead and pre- scribe not only the greatest amount of rest and quiet, both of mind and body, as pos sible, but such diet in the outset is least stimulating and most nourishing without taxing the functional parts of the body thus reserving es far as possible all the vital forces in these organs of digestion, assimilation and excretion for the latter stages of the disease when the demands for endurance are greatest, and when-and only when-the reserve strength should be permitted to be called into action.
 As excellent and preferable substitutes for the old time household diets for the sick-such as chicken or mutton broth, beef tea, etc.-there are great many val uable prepared foods now in the market, several of which would prove availing and successful i'll such cases
 As an instance we have in mind a pa tient who was stricken down few months since with typhoid pneumonia or typhoid malarial fever. For many days it was doubtful whether life or death would gain the mastery over his body. The ordinary household diets-chicken and mutton broth, beef-tes, etc.-usually considered of easy digestion and-whether true or not-highly nutritious, had become of no avail because the stomach had grown too weak and faint to either digest retain them. In the emergency prepared food known Inn perial Granum was prescribed, which proved successful; so much so that in ad- dition to his faith iE the skill of his phy- sician in otherwise handling his case, the patient attributes the preservation of his l life to Imperial Granum, on which practi- l cally alone he existed for several weeks. Let the young physician take note, in deal l that the fever and the hearts action are | not the only important matters requiring attention, but proper husbanding, early | in the case, of the reserve forces of ths | functional parts of body by careful ano cheerful nursing and dieting in order to re- | tain their energies, far possible, un 1 impaired to meet the demands on the enfee | bled strength of the patient at the latter stages of the case, are all important.
